Do either methods (Halal and Kosher) specify the killing of the animal about to be eaten must be done in a humane, pain-free manner (or as pain-free as possible)?
IIRC, shechita (for kosher slaughter) is basically the same kind of process as dhabia halal (for halal slaughter) .... a cut across the throat that has the animal bleed to death.
